Haywood Road, Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway, DG10

Haywood House is a superb late 19th Century detached family home, providing flexible accommodation over three levels with high quality fixtures and fittings throughout, yet retaining many original features such as some working shutters, ceiling cornices, and the fine staircase with stained glass window at half landing level. It is located on the desirable Haywood Road, which is a quiet and leafy street within the Conservation Area.  The property sits side on to the road, making the most of the views to the surrounding hills and ensuring a high level of privacy.  The house is within walking distance of the town centre and enjoys mature landscaped gardens and extensive parking with a double garage and attached garden stores.

 Ground Floor

The property is accessed via an entrance vestibule, with original tiled floor and cloaks area.  An attractive glazed internal door then opens into the welcoming reception hall, with under stair cupboard and carpeted staircase with original balustrade, leading to the first floor.

The sitting room is a lovely bright room, enjoying a dual aspect with a bay window to the front, additional window to the side elevation and an open fire set in a tiled surround. The dining room is also located to the front of the property and is a spacious room with tall windows, shelved display recesses and a tiled fireplace. 

The kitchen/family room is a wonderful space, flooded with natural light via large skylights and bi-fold doors that lead to the terrace and garden.  The kitchen area comprises an excellent range of cream units under granite worksurfaces.  There is an undermount stainless steel sink, and integrated appliances include an electric hob, dishwasher, oven and grill, microwave and coffee machine.  In addition, there is a useful shelved pantry.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a large, practical utility room, with stone flooring, Belfast sink and plumbing for white goods.  A door from here leads through to a spacious rear porch/boot room, which in turn has narrow timber stairs rising to a storage room above.

A generous ground floor double bedroom, with ensuite shower room, completes the ground floor accommodation.

 
Carpeted stairs, with an ornate stained-glass window at half landing level, lead to a bright and spacious landing, filled with natural light from a skylight on the top floor.  The first-floor accommodation is extremely versatile, with spacious rooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC. 

There is a delightful first floor drawing room located to the front of the property, with bay window and additional window to the side. This room offers lovely views over rooftops to the surrounding hills and countryside and boasts a wall of fitted bookshelves and a gas coal effect fire set within a tiled surround. 

The two double bedrooms enjoy high ceilings and charming cast iron fireplaces, while a further double bedroom is presently being used as a generous office. 

The family 'Jack and Jill' bathroom has access from the landing and from one of the double bedrooms, and is fully tiled, comprising a modern suite with deep Duravit bath, separate shower cubicle with rainhead and handheld attachments, WC and wash hand basin.

At the end of landing a small WC, a shelved linen cupboard and another bathroom can be found, comprising bath with handheld attachment, a corner shower cubicle and wash hand basin.

From the landing carpeted stairs continue to the top floor landing, where two further bedrooms and a deep storage cupboard can be found.  Both bedrooms are large doubles and offer great views to the surrounding hills and one of these bedrooms also boasts a modern en suite shower room.   This entire floor would make an ideal children's or guest 'wing'. 


Outside

A short section of shared drive leads to the private gated entrance for Haywood House.  The gravel driveway leads around the house to generous parking and turning areas, and culminates in a double garage and attached storerooms, which were the former stables and groom's accommodation for the property.  The garage has an electronically operated door, concrete floor, power and light, and direct access into three rooms, presently used for storage.  In addition, there is a log store and first floor former hayloft. 

The gardens wrap around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn with deep flowering borders, mature and established shrubs, bushes and trees. The garden enjoys the sun for much of the day and has a high level of privacy, while two paved patios offer ideal spots for alfresco entertaining.  Gently sloping steps from the driveway lead to a pedestrian gate on the roadside.
